Amateur botanist Charlotte Grey has long declared she should never wed.
When six eligible gentlemen offer for her hand at a party, she sets them impossible tasks – if her beaux are truly interested, they must deliver her such grand items as citrus plants, a Wardian case, and botanical books – all by Christmas Eve!
It’s all in jest, of course. Nothing will come of it.
But when a series of unusual gifts begin arriving, Charlotte worries who is behind such gestures that are filling her heart – and her parlour!
